And, why does Trump hate Franklin Graham?

Nikki Haley tried to warn us. "I don’t think Trump's the right president at the right time going forward." "People know what a disaster he’s been and will continue to be... I’m not afraid to say the hard truth out loud. I feel no need to kiss the ring.” And then like the rest, she voted for him.

"What a delight it would be for the once and future president to turn and see Ms. Obama on the front row in one of those QAnon Shaman headdresses."

“No president has ever been convicted as much as me. Historians tell me they’ve never seen anything like this. Grown men with tears in their eyes come up to me on the street and say, ‘Sir, sir... we are just so impressed. We’ve just never had a convicted president before. This is a first.’”

One presumes, knowing flattery is the ultimate diplomatic tool with this guy, that Macron, Trudeau, and even Scarborough are just being prudent and rubbing the big fella's belly, cooing like he was a pet poodle.

Republicans get votes during strong economies because “voters are more willing to take risks and therefore more likely to elect Republicans, who favor lower taxes.” Americans believe the myth that Republicans are better for jobs, economy, and taxes and Democrats are big spenders and bigger taxers.

It was awful, and as all of our progressive friends are wringing their hands and rightfully telling us, 'it's gonna get awfuller.'

The most confounding element of this election is the ability of the MAGAts to listen to Trump speak and still consider giving him their vote. His speeches are filled with his strange non-sequiturs and speech pathologies that would have him sent to a rest home by most families.

"Why are so many of us impervious to actual facts? Why do we simply take someone's word for anything, particularly when shown they are wrong? By wrong, I mean lying."

Pimp my campaign.

"This is the time that candidates go all out and throw everything against the wall to see what sticks. But there is a difference between a Hail Mary and just projectile vomiting random dreck like a sick freshman at a fraternity kegger. So, why do people believe this claptrap?"

Yeah, it's Russia, Russia, Russia again. That's only because it is. It's as though Reagan said, "Mr. Gorbachev, do whatever the hell you want with this wall."
